Logging in

Credentials

Your Canisius log in credentials are mailed to you once you are enrolled at the University. They include your username and password.

Your username doesn't change and is the basis for your official Canisius email address: username@canisius.edu (or username@my.canisius.edu).

You will be assigned a random password, but you can and should periodically change the password to personalize it, and make it more secure.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

We recommend you use Multi-Factor Authentication to secure your Canisius account. This can be a set of security questions, an additional email address, phone number, or a mobile authenticator app. When using a new device, you will need to enter additional information to log into your Canisius account, but it means that bad actors cannot access your Canisius resources with your password alone.

You can learn about your Multi-Factor Authentication options here, and can set it up within the MyCanisius Portal

MyCanisius

MyCanisius, or the Portal, will be your most used site. You can log in there by clicking the MyCanisius link on the Canisius University Website, or by going directly to (and bookmarking) my.canisius.edu. Once logged in there, in the lefthand menus you'll find everything you need to be a student.

We recommend you check your Gmail account and D2L at least once a day.

This tutorial shows you the basics of using and customizing the MyCanisius Portal.
